The Venue's FAQ puts it simply: there is free parking in three designated areas around the casino and complimentary valet service. The Players Club page gives the valet hours: daily from 9:30 am to 3:00 am. The hotel overview adds that valet is available through the casino entrance. "Complimentary Parking" appears in the hotel's own room amenity list as well.
Where to leave the car
Hotel guests unload at the hotel and park in the nearest lot; event guests often use valet at the casino entrance. The Night Market FAQ in June 2026 told visitors to park by the main entrance or by the hotel, which tells you where the two main lots are. The resort does not publish a lot map that we could find.
Valet after a late show
Valet closes at 3:00 am. If you plan to leave after a 9 pm show, that is plenty of time; if you plan to stay up later, park yourself or, better, take a room and collect the car in the morning.
What we could not confirm
- Electric-vehicle chargers. Not mentioned on any official page. Ask the hotel before relying on one.
- RV and oversized vehicles. Not mentioned.
- Secure or covered parking. Not mentioned; one Trip.com reviewer wrote that they would have liked secure parking.
Coat check and arrival in winter
The resort offers a free coat check at the north entrance of the casino, across from Embers, and says it is not responsible for lost or stolen property. On a cold night it is the difference between wearing a parka at the concert and not.
Groups by coach
The resort has a transportation coordinator for coach groups and lists conditions for its bus-tour programme on its own site. Because that programme is tied to time on the gaming floor, we do not reprint it; groups coming for a wedding or a tournament should use the events team on 780-930-2622 instead.
